Cornish (Kernowek or Kernewek) is a Brythonic Celtic language historically spoken by the Cornish people. The language has
undergone a revival in recent decades and is widely considered to be an important part of Cornish identity, culture and heritage.
It is a recognised minority language of the United Kingdom, protected under the European Charter for Regional or Minority
Languages, and has a growing number of speakers. Along with Welsh and Breton, Cornish is directly descended from the ancient
British language spoken throughout much of Britain before the English language came to dominate. The language was the main
language of Cornwall for centuries until it was pushed westwards by English. Cornish continued to function as a common community
language in parts of Cornwall until the late 18th century, and continued to be spoken in the home by some families into the
19th, and possibly 20th, centuries. A process to revive the language was started in the early 20th century, with a number
of orthographical systems being in use until a Standard Written Form was agreed in 2008. In 2010 Unesco announced that its
former classification of the language as extinct was no longer accurate. Since the revival of the language, many Cornish textbooks
and works of literature have been published, and an increasing number of people are studying the language. Recent developments
include Cornish music, independent films and children's books. A small number of children in Cornwall have been brought up
to be bilingual native speakers, and the language is taught in many schools. The first Cornish language crèche opened in 2010. |
